Mañana
Iguana by Ann Whitford Paul is such a fun spin
on The Little Red Hen. !Caramba! Iguana is planning a fiesta. Tortuga the
tortoise, Conejo the rabbit, and Culebra the snake all want to come. But do
they want to help Iguana deliver invitations or stuff the pinata or cook the
food? No, no, and no! A lazy trio loses out in this clever update of the story
of the Little Red Hen with a Mexican twist. A glossary of Spanish words is
included.

Inch
by Inch by Leo Lionni Meet a winning,
winsome inchworm, proud of his ability to measure anything under the sun, from
a robin's tail to a toucan's beak. When a hungry nightingale threatens to eat
him for breakfast unless he can measure her song, the inchworm calls on his
craft and skill to creatively solve the dilemma.

Harold
and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson is
a classic children's book first published in 1955 that features a calm, upbeat
but mostly silent little boy who creates his surroundings with his ever-present
purple crayon. He makes up his own fun, and even gets scared by some of his
drawings: He's chased by a dragon he draws, he falls of a mountain he draws, he
has to draw a boat to save himself from drowning in the sea he accidentally
draws. Successive generations have enjoyed Harold's inventive adventures.
Harold and the Purple Crayon is a wonderful celebration of imagination and
independent play that also has been adapted for an animated HBO Family TV
series and is available as an app.

Building
a House by Byron Barton uses simple text
and clear, simple images to show the process of house building from the ground
up. For kids fascinated with construction {and even those that aren’t} it is
sure to please.

Goldiclocks
and the Three Bears, by James Marshall We never tire of
the fairy tale adaptations by James Marshall.
This is a special favorite because the main character is so unlike the
Goldilocks we’ve met in other versions.
“Goldilocks was one of those naughty little girls who do whatever they
please.” Ignoring warning signs posted
all over the trees, Goldilocks takes a short cut right to the bears’
house. Kids will giggle when she enters
their home to find fur everywhere and thinks,“They must have kitties.”

Good
Night, Gorilla, by Peggy Rathman Here’s another
favorite book, perfect for bedtime. The
zookeeper says good night to all the zoo animals, but the mischievous gorilla
follows behind and unlocks all the cages.
With very few words, the pictures tell most of the story

In math, will be working with numbers. We will
work on how to represent and recognize numbers using tally marks, ten frames,
name of the number, one-to-one correspondence. We will begin working this week
with numbers 0-8.
